AIDS
(Continued from page 1)
That’s ridiculous. You can’t get
AIDS by talking to someone who
has it.”
No cases have been found where
AIDS has been transmitted by
casual contact with someone who
does. Neither ambulance drivers,
policemen, firefighters, nurses, doc-
tors or health care personnel have
ever developed AIDS from caring
for patients unless they have acci-
dentally injected themselves with
blood from infected persons.
So, how can you get AIDS?
Primarily, the syndrome, which
has a six month to five year incuba-
tion period once infected, is con-
tracted by intravenous drug use
(one needle being used by a number
of people) and by homosexual activ-
ity. And it can only be transmitted
through bodily fluids.
Research indicates the following
results with regard to the amount of
HTLV-111 (human T-lymphotropic
virus) found in these liquids:
— blood - high concentrations,
highly infectious.
— semen - high concentrations,
highly infectious.
— tears - low concentrations, not
infectious.
— saliva - low concentrations, not
infectious.
Statistics seem to bear those fig-
ures out, showing that 73 percent of
those who have AIDS are homose:
uals and bi-sexuals, 17 percent are
drug users. Hemophiliacs make up
one percent. Blood transfusions
account for another two percent and
seven percent are unknown.
But, Healey says, that seven per-
cent probably falls into one of the
first two categories.
“When people come in to be
tested for AIDS, they are sitting
down and talking with strangers.
And a lot of times, they are
ashamed of admitting that they are
gay or drug users. I’m surprised
that we can account for 93 percent.”
One way officials have been com-
bating the overall AIDS problem is
through education of the population
in general and gays and drug users
in particular.
“Through education, by getting
people to change their sex habits,
the number of cases involving those
two groups in major cities like New
York and California have gone
down,” Healey explained.
“The virus is spread by sexual
contact, needle sharing, and
through blood or its components.
Rectal intercourse and sharing nee-
dles are two easy ways to catch the
illness from an infected person. But
now that these people are aware of
how it is transmitted, the number of
cases reported have decreased.

A quick-thinking Dallas student
saved a junior high girl from near
disaster after a match was tossed
into her hair last week while aboard
a district school bus.
Eddie Reilly, a senior, reportedly
leaped from his seat and put out the
flames after a match was thrown
into the hair of Margaret Germick,
an eighth grade student, last Thurs-
day.
According to reports, a ninth
grade boy was flicking lighted
matches around the bus when one of
the sticks landed in Germick’s hair.
The girl was not seriously hurt and
did not receive any serious burns,
although her hair was singed.
The mishap took place on the No.4
bus which transports students in
Kingston Township.
According to Dallas School Board
Superintendent Gerald Wycallis, the
youth responsible will be suspended
from school for 10 days and from
riding the district bus for 20 days.
Board

for $285,000 worth of repairs on the
elementary school. But Ashbridge
pointed out that not all the sug-
gested listings were necessary and
that those figures were inflated.
“Isn’t it true that their fee is
based on how much the project
costs?” he inquired. “Of course
they are going to list everything
they can.”
Asked George, “Is it really neces-
sary to close it down? Is it abso-
lutely imperative? All we need is
180 more days and this whole prob-
lem could be avoided.”
In two years, the board plans to
move the ninth grade presently at

the Junior High into the Senior High
with 10th, 11th and 12h grade stu-
dents, utilizing the Junior High as a
sixth, seventh and eighth grade
facility.
Not everyone in attendance, how-
ever, disagreed with the idea of
closing the close.
“My wife and I moved here from
Washington three years ago,”
George Tucker said. “We chose this
area to live because we were told
that Dallas had the best school
district. But we were appalled at
the shape of that building. It’s a
disgrace to the district. ”’
